Canada mobile project
Project overview To support the huge growth in new generation connecting to the grid and increasing electrification of society across Canada, transmission owners are exploring ways to get the most out of the existing grid. This project in Southern Alberta involved the deployment of SmartValves in a mobile deployment to evaluate their capability to increase […]
Austrian Power Grid
Project overview Austrian Power Grid (APG) installed SmartValves in a mobile deployment on their 220 kV network to evaluate how grid availability and operation reliability can be improved using power flow control. The mobile deployment option reduces the need for costly substation site modifications and increases efficiency by enabling companies to install and commission SmartValves […]
Ausnet: Jindera-Wodonga project
Project overview Australia’s electricity grid is undergoing a once-in-a-lifetime revolution as coal-fired generation retires earlier than anticipated and the shift to renewables continues to gather pace. Power flows between Victoria and NSW were restricted by thermal limitations, which over time would have led to reduced access to lower-cost, renewable generation sources in the southern states. […]
IPTO: FARCROSS project
Project overview Increasing cross border capacity between countries in Europe is essential to meet ambitious climate targets, but more progress is needed in the next few years to keep 2025 and beyond targets within reach. The FARCROSS project validated the capabilities of SmartValves to balance power flows across circuits, alleviating congestion on a 150 kV […]
Acelerando a conexão de renováveis no Brasil com FACTS
O sistema de transmissão no Brasil está passando por uma grande mudança ao integrar, de 3 a 5 GW ao ano, de nova energia renovável na próxima década, visto que a rede atual se encontra com capacidade limitada de integrar mais geração. Neste artigo, nosso Gerente Comercial para o Brasil e América do Sul, André […]
Harnessing the synergies of SmartValve™ and SUMO
Project overview The current grid infrastructure is insufficient for meeting the demands of renewable energy and widespread electrification. It requires a major upgrade involving new hardware, software, and services to provide real-time flexibility and responsiveness. Two key technologies, advanced power flow control (APFC) and Dynamic Line Rating (DLR), are crucial in enabling this upgrade. A […]
ELES: System-wide use of SUMO
Project overview Slovenia plays a crucial role in European power flows, acting as a nexus point for north-south and east-west electricity exchanges. The fluctuating nature of these power flows across ELES’ network results in congestion and limits the flow of electricity, even with spare network capacity. ELES recognized the need to enhance the capacity and […]
